9.7% ABV750ML Brown Bottle $11 State Steet Northampton MAAppearance: Tea color, considerable sedimentation in the bottleSmall head dissipated pretty quickly leaving bubbles on rimSmell: bright and sweet maybe a little fresh wood and caramel - fantastic aromaFlavor:very unique, foamy with a bit of alcohol bite. A little too much tannin for me. Kind of a licorice flavor late in the swallowOverall: 2.5/5 The bottle says that it is a blend of Belgian Ale with Kriek and Cherry Ale, but I don't getany cherry at all. It's not terrible, but I wouldn't pick it up again.

Pours a hazy, dark amber body with a big creamy head. Smells of dark fruits like cherries, dates, and raisins, and at almost 10% alcohol it makes an appearance aswell. Taste is essentially the same as the smell would imply, very sweet, fruity and the alcohol packs a punch but is still enjoyable. Has a very thick mouth feel, it kinda leaves a film coating your mouth, and it has fairly low carbonation. Overall pretty good beer, but is a bit on the pricy side.
